To avoid the inevitable confrontation between smokers, who must smoke outdoors, and non smokers, who resent walking through the haze of second-hand smoke outside smoke-free buildings, Duo-Gard Industries provides a solution: prefabricated shelters installed outside the main building. Shelters range from simple models to those with lights, exhaust systems, heating, air conditioning, benches, and what other amenity the client wants for the comfort of its smoking employees. Duo-Gard offers 77 standard sizes plus custom styles. A typical 8 by 10-ft. shelter costs $4,380 and accommodates about 10 smokers. Construction is tinted, translucent, high-tech polycarbonate in aluminum framing. Call 800-872-4404 for further information.
